creating 3d solid wing shape
creating 3d solid wing shape
(OP)
Need some advice in trying to create 3D solids of
1 aircraft wing foam core
2 skin for above
I have got root & tip airfoils in correct place and joined them with RULESURF. Looks very nice when shaded but is only a polygon mesh without the properties of a solid.
Have I started the right way?
How do I close of the ends of this ‘flat tube’ and make it a solid?
After that, is there a simple way to make a 3D solid skin for above.
Cheers
Vince

I would seriously look at a higher end product that works better with surface models or more controls for solids... like Inventor.

Anyway I am teaching myself solidworks now and it appears more useful with solids.
